Most are public by default — including the ones your site never uses. Unused endpoints are unnecessary exposure. They reveal information about your stack, invite probing, and become liabilities when a vulnerability is discovered in a plugin you forgot to audit. WPBuoy Endpoint Manager gives you a clear view of every endpoint on your site and a one-click toggle to disable the ones you don’t need. **See your full API surface** Every endpoint from WordPress core, plugins, and themes in one organized view — grouped by namespace, with a count of how many are currently disabled. **Block endpoints instantly** Toggle any endpoint off and it returns a 403. No code, no rules, no guesswork. One click. **Preview before you block** Open any endpoint’s live response in a new tab before making changes. Know exactly what you’re disabling. **Clean and accessible** Built to WordPress admin standards. Fully keyboard-navigable with screen reader support. #### Who it’s for Agencies hardening client sites. Developers locking down staging environments. Site owners running WooCommerce, membership, or any setup where API exposure is a real risk. #### Go further with Pro WPBuoy Endpoint Manager Pro adds: * Advanced search with keyboard shortcut and result highlighting * Multi-criteria filtering by status, route type, and namespace * Dynamic route support with regex pattern matching * Security log — IP address, endpoint, user agent, timestamp * CSV export and automatic 30-day log cleanup * License management and automatic updates [Learn more about Endpoint Manager Pro](https://wpbuoy.com/plugins/endpoint-manager/) ## Screenshots * [[ * Main settings page showing REST API endpoints organized by namespace * [[ * Toggle endpoints on/off with a simple switch interface * [[ * View disabled endpoints count per namespace ## Installation 1.

Always test thoroughly after making changes. We recommend testing on a staging site first. ### Can I manage endpoints from plugins and themes? Yes. The plugin shows all registered static REST API endpoints, including those from plugins and themes. ### Does this plugin work with WordPress multisite? Yes, but the plugin must be activated on each site individually. Network activation is not currently supported. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “WPBuoy Endpoint Manager” is open source software.
